Chapter12 Configuring Private VLANs Configuring Private VLANs
Limitations with Other Features
When configuring private VLANs, remember these limitations with other features:
Note In some cases, the configuration is accepted with no error messages, but the commands have no effect.
When IGMP snooping is enabled on the switch (the default) , th e switc h support s no more tha n 20
private-VLAN domains.
A private VLAN cannot be a UNI isolated or UNI community VLAN. For more inform at ion ab out
UNI VLANs, see Chapter 11 , “Configur ing VLAN s.”
Do not configure a remote SPAN (RSPAN) VLAN as a private-VLAN primary or seconda ry VLAN.
For more information about SPAN, see Chapter24, “Configuring SPAN and RSPAN.”
Do not configure private-VLAN ports on interfaces configured for these other features:
dynamic-access port VLAN membership
PAgP (only NNIs)
LACP (only NNIs)
Multicast VLAN Registration (MVR)
A private-VLAN port cannot be a secure port, and an NNI should not b e configur ed a s a pro tected
port.
You can configure 802.1x port-based authentication on a private-VLAN port, but do not configure
IEEE 802.1x with port security on private-VLAN ports.
A private-VLAN host or promiscuous port cannot be a SPAN destination port. If you configure a
SPAN destination port as a private-VLAN port, the port becomes inactive.
If you configure a static MAC address on a promiscuous port in the primary VLAN, you must add
the same static address to all associated secondary VLANs. If you configure a static MAC address
on a host port in a secondary VLAN, you must add the same static MAC address to the associated
primary VLAN. When you delete a static MAC address from a private-VLAN port, you must remove
all instances of the configured MAC address from t he p rivate VLA N.
Note Dynamic MAC addresses learned in one VLAN of a private VLAN are replicated in the
associated VLANs. For example, a MAC address learned in a secondary VL AN is replicated
in the primary VLAN. When the original dynamic MAC address i s deleted or aged out, the
replicated addresses are removed from the MAC address table.
Configure Layer 3 VLAN interfaces (SVIs) only for primary VLANs.
